Camp Springs, Kentucky – wine and dog friendly!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and winery lovers…Grandma, Daisy Lynn and I had no idea that we had this treasure right in our own back yard. Camp Springs, Kentucky has all the charm of Nappa Valley, CA albeit smaller. I cannot tell you howl sweet and special this town is. Camp Springs is only 15 minutes from our front door to this front door…
It was the perfect day for wine tastings. This winery is named Camp Springs Winery.
They did not allow Daisy Lynn in the tasting room but we had the best seat right on the front porch.
Our Mayor loves a bit of wine tasting herself. She actually goes crazy for it but she only gets a few licks off of our fingers.
“Just one more lick Mommy??? Please???”
Grandma and I bought a bottle of Blueberry Wine for my brother-in-law for his birthday. The blueberries were grown locally by a member of the family who has a horticulture degree from University of Kentucky. Can you say delicious?
Then it was off to our next stop, Stonebrook Winery also in Camp Springs. This was about 10 minutes down the road, around many country corners, and down the gorgeous back roads of Northern Kentucky.
In a few weeks, this road will be in full bloom with fall color and I think we will be needing another tasting!
This was cute! Love the horse parking sign! This winery also has horse drawn carriages around the winery.
Whoever does the gardening in the front is beyond talented and whimsical. This is the entrance to the winery…sigh…
The people who live and breathe Stonebrook Winery are beyond a delight. The man who owns the winery came in the tasting room and poured us our wine, after he was finished crushing the grapes! I asked him what his favorite was and then promptly bought a bottle for my brother in law. Wow was it ever delicious. Blackberry Black Knight! 18% proof! Need I say more?
Camp Springs, KY – we love ya!

Very pretty Cat! Do you know why it is called the Herbst tour? I ask because a friend of mine is from Kentucky and is a doctor there. His last name is Herbst.
Sandy I do not know why it is called the Herbst tour! I was wondering the same thing myself. I will look into it and see if I can find out for sure! It would have to be connected!
Cat, you, your mom and the Mayor go on the best outings.
Hey Sandy – I posted your question on the Campsprings Facebook page and they said that Herbst is German for Autumn! Campsprings is where a small group of German Immigrants settled in the middle of the 19th century. Most came from wine districts in Germany and started growing grapes!
Howl we did not know we had this treasure in our own back yard is beyond me.
Thanks for your question! Love Cat, Daisy Lynn and Grandma!
